Sounds pretty impressive ... I think it looks really good too ...

Cleanup in aisle 5, looks pretty messy... over-excited car guys likely. :lol:

Thats all well and good, but the G8 isn't gonna last more than another year or so. They ain't selling and with GM killing off the Pontiac brand they won't be around long enough to fight.

And it keeps getting better... Hennessey wants to get his hands on it.

I think this will be more of a cheaper S6 fighter than anything rear-wheel drive.

I can't think of a single pontiac model that I'll miss when they're gone.

Wow, slip some less flashy rims on it and I'd buy it :)

Ford has gone a bit crazy with chrome in the past few years, a piece here are there is ok but its everywhere.

What about the Aztek? :puke:

This car will be sharing the same powertrain platform as the new Mustangs.
The 3.5L TT V6 Ecoboost technology is supposed to be Ford's answer to the age-old performance vs. fuel consumption dilemma.

Unfortunately I get the feeling the SHO will be another abortion waiting to happen though.

The 355hp 3.7 in the MKT and Flex moves them nicely, so with the slightly lesser weight of the Taurus it should move really good.
